After returning from the palace, Shu Shu changed into homely clothes and went to Ning'an Hall. In the main room, there are two pieces of Songjiang cloth placed on the Kang.
It is fine fine cloth, as soft as silk. A piece of cloth is more expensive than silk. It was time to make cotton-padded clothes for the children, so Mrs. Bo asked someone to dig out two pieces of Songjiang cloth.
Shu Shu sat on the edge of the kang and saw a pack of silk cotton next to her. She asked, "Are we going to make jackets at this time?" The uncle said, "Well, it doesn't need to be too thick. I'm going to make a cotton waistcoat." None of the children arrived. When running all over the ground, there is no need to make it too thick.
It’s time to wear quilted clothes before winter begins. Seeing this, Shu Shu said: "Isn't there floor heating? When the weather gets cold, just light the fire in advance." Mrs. Bo shook her head and said: "Spring covers the cold weather in autumn. It's okay to delay turning off the fire in spring. It's not good to light the fire early in autumn. It's still ten o'clock." Light the fire again." Shu Shu said: "I saw Brother Eighteen today. He is fourteen months old and he still doesn't want to learn to talk." But he couldn't see anything wrong.
The uncle said: "It's all normal. If you don't speak after three years of age, you have to think of something." Shu Shu was relieved.
I didn't care about this at first, but after I had a child, I was always worried about the small probability of something bad happening to my child.
Ni Guzhu woke up and was hugged by her wet nurse. Seeing Shu Shu's presence, she became disobedient and kicked around with her hands and feet.
Shu Shu saw this and took it.
"Ah... ah... ah..." Ni Guzhu's mouth was not idle, his saliva was drooling, and the saliva towel tied around his neck became soaked in a short time.
Seeing that he is about six months old, he is about to start teething. Shu Shu removed Ni Guzhu, and then changed her mouth towel.
Ni Guzhu grabbed Shu Shu's hand again and brought it to his mouth. Mrs. Bo brought the pepper stick and took off Shu Shu's hand.
I was worried that my children would choke on teething sticks, so I gave some of them some Zanthoxylum bungee sticks last month. Teething in children does not start at six months, but at four months they are drooling all day long.
Every time, Niguzhu starts first. She had a reaction, and within ten days Fengsheng and Akdan would follow her.
Shu Shu spent a while here before going back to the main courtyard and watched Fengsheng and Akdan go back to their room.
Here in Akdan, there is a half-person-high cotton pillow, wearing comfortable old clothes. This is the method Shu Shu and Jiu Age came up with. They can't let Akdan really become a little tail, so they have to change his dependence.
Xiaotang brought some seeds and started planting them in the greenhouse. This year, there are no potatoes or corns, and more vegetables can be grown in it.
Shu Shu said: "Mainly leaf vegetables, the yield is fast, and it saves worry." This refers to leeks, Chinese cabbage, spinach, coriander and so on.
There will be no shortage of vegetables this winter. Vegetables will be grown in the greenhouse over at Xiaotangshan, so it doesn’t matter in the house.
Xiaotang thought about it by himself, and Xiaosong followed him to watch the fun. Walnut took a list, which was prepared by Shu Shu for Xiaochun.
A set of gold-headed noodles, a set of silver-headed noodles, twelve pieces of various materials, four pairs of purses, containing sixteen taels of gold and sixteen taels of silver.
Shu Shu looked at the list, feeling depressed. Ni Guzhu was only half a year old, and she had already tasted the feeling of marrying a daughter.
Walnut stood nearby, not knowing how to comfort him. Shu Shu waved her hands and said: "It's okay. Let's call your sister Xiaochun over. There is no banquet in the world." Among all kinds of relationships, father and daughter, husband and wife, mother and son, the relationship between husband and wife is not maintained by blood, and it looks most unreliable. , but it’s true that couples can stay together until old age.
Shu Shu felt that autumn might really be here, and she felt a little sad. After a while, Xiao Chun came in, her eyes swollen like rotten peaches.
Seeing that, if he hadn't restrained himself, he would have hugged Shushu and cried loudly. Shu Shu patted the edge of the kang and said, "Sit closer and let's talk." Xiao Chun nodded and sat next to the kang.
A twenty-year-old girl is actually the best time. Shu Shu is also a person who cares about appearance. The girls he grew up with since childhood are not bad in appearance.
Xiaochun has a standard oval face and almond-shaped eyes, which look a bit refreshing. In the early days when I was in Dutong Mansion, I also liked to dress up.
But with Xiao Tao's example, the others also avoided suspicion and looked simple. Shu Shu looked at Xiao Chun and said: "Don't try to hide from Qingxian. Grandma Qi is old and has low energy. When she comes back to Feng Sheng and the others, she needs to be watched carefully." Xiao Chun immediately shook his head and said, "I don't want to go. The eldest brother and the others also want to serve Fujin." Shu Shu nodded and said, "That's fine, then you can take over from Aunt Xing." Aunt Xing is usually responsible for representing Shu Shu, the prince, Fujin. Favors and gifts.
However, Xiaochun was self-aware and said hesitantly: "The rules outside are not as good as those of a servant like Walnut Sister." Shu Shu said: "You just have to learn. There are still many years. As long as you are my close friend, you can represent me." It's respectable." Gao Bin has great ambitions and wants to be an official close to the people. When the time comes, the walnuts will have to be released, and the job in the Prince's Mansion will not last long.
After hearing this, Xiaochun nodded, pointed to the West Crossing Courtyard and said, "Right now, Zhaojia Gege is quite worry-free, but in the future there will be others..." She knew that Shu Shurong couldn't do this, and she became a little worried.
Shu Shu said: "It's already very good now. I don't want to think about the bad things. How can I still suffer a loss?" Xiao Chun looked at Shu Shu with reluctance.
Master and servant have been together for twelve years, which for them in their teens and twenties, is as long as most of their lives.
Shu Shu said: "Other than not sleeping in the same yard, there is no difference. Stop shedding tears and go back and stay with your family for a month." Xiao Chun nodded.
In the afternoon, Xiao Chun's brother came to pick him up in the car. Xiao Chun kowtowed to Shu Shu a few times and left the prince's mansion.
Xiaotang, Xiaosong, Walnut, Peanut and Ginkgo were all delivered to the door. Although everyone knew that Xiao Chun was marrying into the Xing family and would work as an errand in the government in the future, it was different from before.
The little sisters all shed tears. This is different from sending Xiaoyu away. Xiaoyu came later and didn't spend much time with Xiaotang and the others.
At the side door of the Prince's Mansion, in addition to Xiaochun's brother, there was also Xing Jiang who was on leave. It looked like he was sending Xiao Chun there.
He was talking to Xiaochun's brother. He is in his twenties, with dignified features and eyes. He is not as dull as his elder brother Xing Hai, nor as smart as his younger brother Xing He. He looks calm and reliable.
"Brother-in-law is also here...
"Xiao Song was holding Xiao Chun's arm and said quickly when he saw what happened. She was the youngest and took the most care of Xiao Chun when she was a child, and the two of them were also close. Xiao Chun blushed and glanced at her. Xiao Song was ashamed to see her. , he closed his mouth and smiled sullenly. Watching Xiao Chun's carriage go away and turn the corner of the street, everyone turned around. Xiao Tang looked at Bai Guo and said, "Sister, be more careful around Fujin in the future. "Shu Shu has four bridesmaids, two of them are gone. Xiaosong is useless. Xiaotang has always been decent, so naturally he can give this advice.
Bai Guo said hurriedly: "Don't worry, sister, I will do my job well." Peanut is actually quite old, but he is quiet and doesn't talk much.
When they arrived at the main courtyard, Xiaotang took Xiaosong to the main room. Shu Shu leaned forward and asked the two of them to come in and sit down. He looked at them and said, "Time flies so fast. I still think about the situation when we were all in the same place before. In the blink of an eye, it has been more than ten years." Xiaotang said again: " Fujin, slave, don’t go out. In slave’s heart, the most important thing is Fujin. The one who treats slaves best in this life is Fujin.” Shu Shu looked at her and said: “Don’t worry, we’ll talk about it in a few years. I have a master here and a good life.” They will also have grandchildren and great-grandchildren in the future. There will be no shortage of people to accompany them. I just hope that you can live as you please for a few days." Xiaotang smiled with red eyes and said: "By Fujin's side, I'm a slave. You can follow your heart." Shu Shu looked at her and said: "Then plan the recipes carefully, save money carefully, and think about the dishes in your free time. There are two restaurants outside. When you go back, you can inspect the kitchen and help me keep an eye on it. Don't keep looking at it. There is a cat in the house." The people working on the stove in the dining room were either old wives or fat-headed masters, but there were no young men.
It would be great if you can meet the right one, forget it if you can't. Xiaotang nodded and said: "The slave must take a good look at it for Fujin." Shu Shu looked at Xiaosong again and said: "What did Uncle Hei say? Did he let you go home?" Xiaosong said in surprise: "I am Fujin's reading companion. Guard, isn't the place where Fujin is home?" Shu Shu said: "Where's your senior brother? Didn't you say anything?" Xiao Song thought for a while and said: "Senior brother said that we can't catch up with this wave anyway, let's catch up with the next one. Don't be in a hurry..." As she said this, she said confusedly: "Are you saying that Sister Xiaochun is marrying Hewalo? I didn't say I wanted to marry him, so why is it just this one or the next one?" Shu Shu's mouth twitched. Well, Chunlin is pretty good at thinking, but it's a pity that Xiaosong hasn't figured it out yet.
What this is talking about is that they get married and have children, and they can't keep up with the Fengsheng brothers to choose haha beads. She asked: "Did you say it in front of Uncle Hei?" Xiaosong shook his head and said: "No, I told Ama, and Ama took senior brother to practice." Shu Shu felt relieved after hearing this.
This is Chunlin's fault. If he was really frivolous, Heishan would not be so simple and crude and only train his apprentice.
At the beginning of Shen Dynasty, Brother Jiu came back from the Yamen. He looked a little strange and frowned. Seeing this, Shu Shu asked, "What happened to the House of Internal Affairs?" Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "Nothing happened to the House of Internal Affairs. It was Yongshou Palace's concubine who asked the imperial doctor again." Shu Shu thought about the seats in Ningshou Palace in the morning. , Concubine Tong was not here, she just said she was sick.
Before, Shu Shu thought she was hiding because when she was cleaning up the Chengqian Palace, there were rumors about Concubine Tong becoming a noble concubine. In the end, she moved the palace with her concubines.
"Seriously ill? Is that going to be a big deal?" Shu Shu said. Concubine Tong is Kangxi's cousin. Even though she is silent in the palace and has no status at the moment, she is different from other concubines.
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "I know this, but I can't just hide it. I can't check the pulse of this concubine. I have to ask the princess first tomorrow to see how to deal with it... "A few days ago, Yongshou Palace invited the imperial doctor, and he thought it was a minor illness.
But in the past five days, it has been reported three times, which makes people feel uneasy...
